A Two-minute Interview <no. 2).

“ Fully equipped with Fire Extinguishers,
thank you," said the Colliery Manager to a
Pyrene man.

“ So you have a Pyrene installation.”

“ Anyone would think Pyrene was the only
Extinguisher in the market ! ”

“ There are other Extinguishers, and good ones
too 1 But no Colliery is safe without Pyrene.”

“ How do you make that out ? ”

“Your Fire Risks are peculiar. These and the
conditions under which an outbreak may occur
demand special consideration.”

“ Admitted. But I don't see how that helps
your case. My Extinguishers are filled with
water and here is a supply of sand for Electrical
fires."

“You have forgotten that there are fires for
which water is useless, and that sand is liable to
ruin your Electrical Equipment even if it happens
to put out the fire. Pyrene is efficient on all kinds of

incipient fires—even those involving
highly inflammable substances which
water won’t touch. It is also a non-
conductor of Electricity, and will extin-
guish electrical fires without damage
your apparatus or insulation.”

“ Consider the size and weight oi
water Extinguishers. Supposing a fire
somewhere in the pit. How can a man carry
one quickly through the narrow, low passages he
may have to traverse ? And, even when he reaches
the outbreak, there is always the possibility that the
machine will fail to act. There is no such risk
with Pyrene—it is ABSOLUTELY RELIABLE.
Moreover, I could put a Pyrene in each of my
jacket pockets, and one under each arm and
proceed to the outbreak at top speed and have
FOUR POWERFUL FIRE EXTINGUISHERS ready for
instant use, each of which has an extinguishing
capacity equal to that of a machine many times
weight and size.’’

Extinguishers Now in Use.
